Nortel T7316E office phone is too loud. Not ringer but handset. The volume never saves. Do I have to turn it down every time?

Two different options,... Call the extension, and while it is ringing, press the volume down bar until you can no longer hear it ringing. You can also try this... Leaving the handset down, do Feature * 80, adjust the loudness for ringer volume by pressing the volume bar.

Have you tried to call the phone and adjust the volume on the set while the call is coming in? I think the only way you can adjust the ringer volume is if the phone is ringing.

Setting the ring tone and ringer volume You can choose one of the four different ring tones and set the ringer volume. To set the ring tone and volume: 1. Make sure that the ringer is turned ON. 2. Press the Set Options key. 3. Press the down arrow three times or press [3] to go directly to the item. 4. Press [3] and follow the instructions on the display. When picking the ring tone, press the volume bar to adjust the volume. 5. Press [Save] to end when you are satisfied with the ring tone and ringer volume.

You can adjust your ringer volume by using Feature *80, then using the volume bar to adjust it.

You can adjust the ringer of your Nortel phone by dialing Feature *6, then using the volume bar to adjust the ringer while the tone is playing, or dial Feature *80 to adjust it there.

You can disable paging through system programming but it might be easier to turn down the volume by pushing the volume down arrow when a page is being announced.

It always will. Now you need to go into system programming and program the phone to NOT ring.

Try swapping the handset and cord with a working phone. Those handsets are known to loose the transmitters. As for the ringing, have someone make an intercom call to your extenxsion. Do not answer the call...while the light is flashing press the volume up button several times. www.dyna-tech.us
